It sounds like it might be too good to be true, but Group Reporting under the Quality Payment Program is an important thing to understand. Under the QPP and the MIPS program, in 2017, any practice with more than 2 providers can use group reporting by submitting data on JUST TWO PROVIDERS! If you have 10, 30 or even 100+ providers under your TIN, successfully reporting on just two (in their specialities) can avoid a penalty and potentially result in a partial or full bonus.
QCDR Reporting is the best option for practices specializing in Physical Medicine and Pain Mitigation/Management focused practices.
A Mother’s Love – Part III in a series on Opiates: Are There Any Good Answers? Welcome back! This is Part III in a series on Opiates: Are there any good answers? If you recall, last week we were riveted by a young man’s story of addiction, and his slow slide into suicidal ideation. This week, we visit with a mother who lost her child to an accidental overdose. Let’s hear what she has to say about the subject matter…

Let’s see what he has to say about Opiates, and you will find Dr. Jorgensen’s response to this blog at the end of Will’s journey…
It is important for Patient360 to talk about M4B: The easy way to report MIPS data. Are you a physician or other healthcare provider that gets paid more than $3,750 annually from Medicare Part B?
If you answered “YES” you should report your MIPS data with Patient360’s MIPS for Beginner (M4B) program.
Here’s the Breakdown:
**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
October 4, 2017
Manchester, Maine
Patient360 (P360) is proud to announce that 100% of our clients were successful in their 2016 PQRS submissions.
Having been in the registry business for well over a decade, we are pleased with our track record but must work each year to not only help clients optimize performance but even to learn whether they were successful.
With so many outcome and reporting expectations from Medicare and other payers, choosing to report (never mind when, and how) can become just another exercise in provider based procrastination. The Medicare Quality Payment Program (QPP) is a different beast.
David Letterman may be gone from regular late-night television, but his Top 10 shtick is still a favorite well past a time when the younger crowd cannot recall who made it popular. What’s not going away is the Quality Payment Program (QPP) and thankfully, it includes Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDR) to personalize and optimize the quality measure reporting experience.
Ok, so you probably guessed I don’t own an EMR (because I am the Principal/CEO of Patient360). However, I have worked on more than nine in the last twenty plus years in medicine both in and outside of hospital systems. The expectations are the same in-house or on your own in the private sector. EMRs should improve care, save money, and help all healthcare providers better communicate with improved data capture.
